Arthroscopy assisted steida process excision in a case of posterior ankle impingement
Publication date: Available online 4 September 2018Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint SurgeryAuthor(s): Clement Joseph, Shiva Reddy, Arjun BallalAbstractHindfood pain can result from bony and soft tissue causes and can be traumatic or non-traumatic. Here we present a rare case of hindfoot pain due to impingement from an elongated lateral tubercle (Stieda's process) of the posterior process of the talus in a 40 year old man and its management. The patient underwent hindfoot arthroscopy, with excision of the Stieda's process and decompression of Flexor hallucis tendon. It was followed by immobilisation in POP SLAB for ...

Multiligamentous knee injury – A Level III study to describe systematic approach, management and rehabilitation protocol with review of literature
ConclusionWe found good functional outcome in most cases treated by our systematic approach and management protocol. Better functional outcomes in MLKIs needs thorough clinico-radiological evaluation and proper surgical planning in terms of repair/reconstruction. Early intervention (<3 weeks), multistage reconstruction and individualized rehabilitation are key factors for early return to activities. (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)

Concomitant multiligamentous knee injury and patellar tendon tear- A rare injury pattern
We report two such cases & highlight the mechanism, treatment and modified rehabilitation protocol. In acute setting, diagnosis may be difficult due to gross soft tissue swelling. Magnetic resonance imaging is an important diagnostic tool to know the extent and site of ligament tears & to avoid misdiagnosis. Simultaneous repair or reconstruction of all the structures in the grossly unstable knee with modified rehabilitation protocol can be performed to obtain optimal functional outcomes.

Comparison of psychometric properties of subjective structured assessment instruments of technical performance during knee arthroscopy
ConclusionWe recommend the use of Arthroscopic surgery skill evaluation tool [ASSET] as it demonstrates optimal psychometric properties. The ASSET can be used as gold standard to compare existing outcome assessment tools. (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)

A simple method for wrist ganglion staining with diluted surgical marking pen ink in arthroscopic resection and avoiding dye leakage-related subcutaneous discoloration
Publication date: January–April 2018Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery, Volume 5, Issue 1Author(s): Hui-Kuang Huang, Jung-Pan Wang, Yi-Chao HuangAbstractArthroscopic resection of the wrist ganglion is commonly performed nowadays, and has a recurrence rate comparable to open excision. It is preferred by some surgeons due to the smaller and more cosmetic operative scar. When using the arthroscopic procedure, identification of the stalk of the ganglion can facilitate accurate resection. In order to achieve this, staining and enhancement of the ganglion through the use of surgical dye injection has been propose...

A unique case of capito-hamate fractures with simultaneous dislocation of third, fourth and fifth carpometacarpal joints in a young adult
Publication date: January–April 2018Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery, Volume 5, Issue 1Author(s): Naveen BM, Joseph Wehbe, Nimish Gaur, Youssef Hassan, B.K. SharmaAbstractCarpometacarpal fracture dislocations are rare and infrequent injuries, which are usually missed at the first presentation. The gross swelling of the wrist and hand conceals the deformity and the radiographs may not reveal much findings. It is important to make an early diagnosis for an appropriate treatment to prevent future morbidity. Therefore, a high index of suspicion, good quality imaging and a prompt surgical intervention in selec...

Our experience in first 100 cases of endoscopic carpal tunnel release: An Indian perspective
ConclusionEndoscopic carpal tunnel release can be accepted as the treatment of choice for the surgical decompression of carpal tunnel owing to decreased postoperative complications. One of the major limitations of the ECTR is the slow learning curve of a surgeon. Difficulty to visualise the distal edge of TCL was most common cause for conversion. With increasing experience of a surgeon in endoscopic release, the conversion rates would decrease.Level of study: level 4, decision analysis (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)

Osteoarthrosis knee: Need for a simplified prognostic knee score
Publication date: January–April 2018Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery, Volume 5, Issue 1Author(s): Prince Raina, Roop Bhushan KaliaAbstractOsteoarthrosis is the commonest joint disorder. There may be variations depending upon the type of joint involved and amount of loading of joint. Weight bearing joints appears to have a higher predisposition as compared to other joints. The treatment modalities for symptom relief vary from nonpharmacological to pharmacological and surgical interventions. The type of intervention required depends mainly on the amount of joint destruction which can be quantified clinicall...

Anthropometric assessment of tibial resection surface morphology in total knee arthroplasty for tibial component design in Indian population
ConclusionClinically relevant differences in proximal tibia morphology at the level of proximal TKA resections across ethnicities can lead to mismatch of sizes of Western TKA implants in Indian patients. Tibial component designs should be done by considering the morphometry of knee in Indian population. Indian females were found to have significant smaller dimension of tibia in terms of size than. But the impact of small sample size and single centre on study warrant a multicentric study with large sample size. (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)

Manangement of ACL tear in paediatric age group: A review of literature
Publication date: January–April 2018Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery, Volume 5, Issue 1Author(s): Manish DiwakarAbstractThe anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a stabilizing structure to both anterior translation of the tibia with respect to the femur as well as rotation of the knee joint. The incidence of ACL tears is rising in the pediatric and adolescent populations as these individuals succumb to traumatic and non-traumatic athletic injuries. Pediatric ACL injuries are typically seen in several forms: tibial avulsion fractures, partial ACL tears, and full thickness ligament tears. Management of this c...
